Why this works

• LRV spread (14.75 → 82.8): 68.05-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
• Warmth balance (4 warm · 0 cool): Built around warm tones with no cool ballast.
• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 4 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Silver Lichen (Dulux, LRV 44.1, neutral green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Nectar Jewels 6 (Dulux, LRV 76.1, warm yellow undertone). Use on the wall in a hallway or adjacent room for a continuous scheme, or as a second wall colour in the same room.

Accent — Hot Chocolate (Benjamin Moore CC-484, LRV 14.75, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Whitehall No.9 (Mylands No.9, LRV 80.2, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — White 06 (Lick, LRV 82.8, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
